Last year’s Super Bowl champions, the New  Orleans Saints, visited the White House on Aug. 9, while the Packers’  last championship team, the 1996 Super Bowl XXXI team, visited President  Clinton in May, 1997.      “We have been in touch with the White House,” Murphy said. “The policy  was that we could not go to the White House during the lockout. We’ve  since then had some discussions. We’re looking at whether we can find a  day in August when the team can go visit the White House. I’m hoping we  can work it out. I think it’d be such a special and unique opportunity  for our players.”      “I do realize the President has more important things to deal with now  than this. But it would be good,” Murphy added. “Once you start the  regular season, it’s really not possible. Hopefully something can get  worked out. I know personally I’m looking forward to seeing Charles  Woodson and President Obama shake hands. I think that’ll be a very  interesting discussion.”<a href="http://www.espnmilwaukee.com/common/more.php?m=49&action=blog&r=40&post_id=5960&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook" target="_blank">http://www.espnmilwaukee.com/common/more.php?m=49&action=blog&r=40&post_id=5960&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook</a></blockquote>
